Users Manual

1 Dhyyhv Dpv B@Trpv 9 ZZZ*(6HFXULW\FRP Product Summary The Water Resistant Personal Help Button is a wireless device used for activating police, medical or auxiliary alarms throughout the premises. When the help button is pressed, the light mounted under the cover will blink and an alarm signal is transmitted. The status of the battery is sent in every transmission. The battery is field replaceable. The help button has four adapters that easily attach to the back of the button. Using these adapters, the help button can be mounted on the wall or worn as a belt clip, watch or pendant. Assembly Guidelines Use the following guidelines when assembling the help button. •The help button should be learned into supervised groups when used for life safety applications. •The transmitter in the help button has an open-air range of at least 375 feet, but the installation environ- ment may influence this range. •Have the customer press the help button with their thumb or finger to ensure that they have no problems activating the help button. •When worn as a pendant, instruct your customer to grasp the help button in their hand and press it using a thumb or finger as opposed to pressing it against their chest. This will give them the best transmitting range. Assembly Options Wall Mount 1. Place the wall mount adapter on the wall at the desired location and mark through the mounting holes with a pencil. 2. Secure the holder to the wall with #4 screws. Use plasterboard anchors where studs are not present. 3. Snap the help button onto the four snap-on posts on the wall mount adapter. Belt Clip The help button can be worn on the belt using the belt clip adapter. Snap the help button onto the four snap-on posts on the belt clip adapter. Wrist Bands The help button can be worn on the wrist with a hook and latch or plastic wrist band. To use the hook and latch wrist band: 1. Lay the hook and latch wrist band across the back of the help button. 2. Compress the spring-loaded pins with a small screw- driver 3. Slip the pins over the wrist band and into the pin slots located on the back of the help button. Note Listen for a clicking sound as the pins slide into the slots.

E May 2004 PRELIMINARY XhrSrvh QrhyCry7 2 To use the plastic wrist band 1. Insert the spring-loaded pins through the ends of the plastic wrist band. 2. Compress the spring-loaded pins with a small screw- driver. 3. Slip into the pin slots located on the back of the help button. Note The plastic wrist band or almost any other 18 mm watch band can be used. Pendant The help button can be worn as a pendant two different ways: •With a necklace using the pin-mounted necklace adapter •With the included rope necklace using the snap-on pendant adapter. To use the pin-mounted necklace adapter: 1. Make sure the necklace or chain fits through the larger hole in the pin-mounted necklace adapter. 2. Remove one of the spring-loaded pins from the plastic wrist band and insert it into the smaller hole on the necklace adapter. 3. Compress the spring-loaded pins with a small screw- driver and slip them into the pin slots located on the back of the help button. To use the pendant adapter: 1. Slip the rope necklace into the top slot on the pendant adapter and hook the plastic ends together. 2. Snap the help button onto the four snap-on posts on the pendant adapter. Programming This section describes the basic steps for adding the help button to panel memory. For complete instructions, refer to the specific panel Installation Instructions. 1. Set the panel in the program mode. 2. Enter the appropriate group number when prompted by the panel. 3. Select the desired sensor number when prompted by the panel. 4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor, press the help button until the light blinks. 5. Exit from program mode. Testing the Help Button This section describes the basic steps for testing the help button. For complete instructions, refer to the specific panel Installation Instructions. 1. Set the system to the Dealer Sensor Test mode. 2. Activate the help button by grasping the help button in your hand pressing it with your thumb or finger until the light blinks. 3. Listen for beeps sounded from system sirens. You should hear at least 7 beeps. 4. Test the help button from several locations within the premises to check for consistent response. 5. Instruct the user to test the help button weekly. Pin-Mount Adapter Insert Pin Slip Rope Necklace Through Snap-On Posts 3 Repair of the Help Button Use the following diagram and instructions when replac- ing the battery or cover. Caution! To avoid an alarm condition you must place the panel in sensor test mode before changing the battery. You must be free of all static electricity before handling the transmitter circuit board. Touch a grounded, bare metal sur- face before touching the circuit board, or wear a grounding strap. To Replace the Battery: 1. Disassemble the help button by removing the four screws on the back of the help button and separate the cover and base. Note You may need to “rock” the cover to loosen it due to the tight seal created by the o-ring. 2. Remove the old battery from its holder and install the new battery, observing polarity. Note Install Duracell (DL2032), Panasonic or Varta (CR2032) 3. Reassemble the help button. Make sure to line up the LED indicator bump on the cover with the LED on the PCB. Caution! If the board is not correctly lined up with the cover, it can create stress on the plastic. Be careful not to bend or break the rectangular snap-on latch supports when reassembling the help button. Caution! Be sure to assemble the help button correctly to ensure water resistance. Inspect the rubber o-ring before assembly and be especially careful…

This device wirelessly transmits panic alarms to alert appropriate personnel. A reed switch is also in the device so that the appropriate personnel can acknowledge the alarm. An ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) monitors the panic button, reed switch and also controls the transmitter operation. Once every 68 minutes the device wakes up the transmitter and sends a supervisory message. The RF circuit consists of a 319.5 MHz oscillator followed by an amplifier. The amplifier is turned on and off to modulate the carrier. EXHIBIT I Operational Description

Lab Measurements Discussion / Test Notes 3.1 Test Notes 3.1.1 Transmissions shall cease within 5 seconds of activation [ §15.231(a)(2) ] Alarm transmissions consist of 8 packets. The packet duration is, at most, 30 mS, see Duty Cycle Correction Factor [§15.231(b)(2) and §15.35(c)]. The time between packets random between 100 mS and 450 mS so the length of the longest transmission is: 8*30mS + 7*450mS = 3.39 seconds. The following plot shows an 8-packet transmission that concludes in less than 5 s…
